Sen. Minority Leader Reid: Johnson 'looked very, very good'
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid said fellow Democrat Tim Johnson "looked very, very good" after undergoing overnight brain surgery at George Washington University Hospital.
Reid commented shortly after 9 a.m. after departing the South Dakota senator's hospital room. The Nevada Democrat -- slated to become Senate Majority Leader, if Johnson and 50 other Democrats take office in January -- declined to answer specific questions about Johnson's condition, but did say he was "so happy to see him this morning."
